๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐: Canterbury Bulldogs Winger Jacob Kiraz Stuns Fans and Leaves Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo Speechless with Major Announcement
Bulldogs winger Jacob Kiraz, one of the clubโs most electrifying and beloved players, delivered a bombshell announcement that sent shockwaves through Belmore and beyond โ an announcement so unexpected it reportedly left head coach Cameron Ciraldo momentarily speechless.
After weeks of speculation surrounding his future, Kiraz fronted the media and put an end to the rumours in dramatic fashion.
โItโs time,โ Kiraz said calmly. โThis wasnโt an easy decision, but itโs one Iโve thought long and hard about.โ
A Moment No One Saw Coming
At just 22, Kiraz has become a fan favourite thanks to his fearless carries, explosive speed, and unwavering commitment to the blue and white jersey. Many assumed the Bulldogs were building their long-term future around him. Instead, Kiraz revealed a major career-defining move that few predicted.
The winger confirmed that he will be stepping away from the Bulldogs at the end of the season, citing a desire to pursue new challenges and opportunities beyond his current role.
Whether that future lies with a rival NRL club, overseas, or even outside rugby league entirely remains unclear โ and that uncertainty only added to the drama.
โIโll always be grateful to this club,โ Kiraz said. โThe fans, the boys, the staff โ they made me who I am today. But sometimes, you have to listen to your gut.โ
Ciraldo Left Searching for Words
Head coach Cameron Ciraldo, normally composed and measured, admitted the news caught him off guard.
โJacob is a special talent and an even better person,โ Ciraldo said. โWe didnโt see this coming, and I wonโt lie โ it hurts. But we respect his decision.โ
Sources close to the club revealed that the announcement came shortly after a private meeting between Kiraz and Bulldogs management, leaving little time for contingency planning.
Fans React with Shock and Emotion
Social media erupted within minutes of the announcement. Some fans expressed heartbreak, others gratitude, and many simply disbelief.
โAbsolute warrior. Whatever happens next, heโll always be a Bulldog,โ one supporter posted.
Another wrote: โDidnโt expect this today. Kiraz is the heart of this team.โ
What Happens Next?
For now, Kiraz remains committed to finishing the season strongly, insisting his focus hasnโt wavered.
โIโm still all in,โ he said. โI want to give everything I have until the final whistle.โ
As for the Bulldogs, the task is clear โ regroup, refocus, and prepare for a future without one of their brightest stars.
